Fighting Polluting Industry in Cancer Alley

When an international corporation decided to drop a massive polluting factory in the middle of a historically black community, residents decided enough was enough. See how local resident and grandmother, Sharon Lavigne, is rallying the community to fight back. It's a people's story of resilience, remembrance, and reclamation. www.risestjames.org/

    Black people were treated so badly during slavery and still in 2022 they are being treated badly. When I saw the house al destroyed, it broke my heart for Sharon. She is a lovely strong women and I do hope I get to meet her one day. I am in the UK, but would love to go to this community.
